PROTECTIVE CASINGr-FOR GLASS BOTTLES.

To all 1J/1.0m, t may concern:

Be it known that l, FRANK S. HYATT, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Protective Casings for Glass Bottles, of `which the following is -a' specification.

My invention relates to protective casings or inclosures for bottles and similar receptacles of glass or other `fragile material and has for its main object the construction of a casing in such a way as to make a bottle contained therein immune from breakage if the casing is allowed to fall.

Another object of'my invention isV the construction of a casing which is both simple and inexpensive to manufacture.

A further object of my invention is the construction of a casing in which is forn'ied grooves or pockets which may beused for the carrying of any desired articles such as thermometers etc.

To these ends my invention consists in` the protective casing hereinafter more particularly described and then specified in the claims. f

Figure l illustrates infront elevation a preferred form of casing made according to my invention. Fig. 2 shows" 3a vertical section through Fig. l. Fig. 3 shows a sectional plan view of the casing on the linewww.

The body of the protective casing is provided with a plurality of concavities or depressions indicated by l which are formed in the wall of the body of the casing l0,

better advantage. A; glass bottle represent-l 'ed by 6 is shown preferably inclosedv in a sleeve 7 which is made preferably-of a'sbes, tos and which holds the bott-le firmb7 in Specification of Letters Patent;

place within the casing. The asbestos sleeve and the bottle within it are held securelv by coming into contact with the inner sur'- faces of the apices S of the several concavlt-ies formed in the wall of the body of the casing. It is obvious that the sleeve could be omitted altogether andthe casing would still retain its features of secureness and protection. A concavity indicated at 3 is formed in the base-of the casing, and a concavity et is formed in the top of the cover 2 as shown. The inclose'd bottle 6 is supported at its base by the innerl surface of the apex of the concavity 3, and the stopper 9 ofthe bottle is supported and held in place by coming int-o contact with the inner surface ofthe apex of the concavity l when the cover 2 is fastened to the body of the casing. The Fig. 2 shows the inclosed bottle held securelyin place as to its sides as well as its two ends, andas will be obvious if the casing be allowed to drop, no part of its surface which comes into contact either directly or indirectly with any portion of 4the bottle willbe affected, thereby insuring thel safety of the bottle as to breakage or damage 'no matter how it may be allowed to fall.

Preferably four concavities are formed in the wall of the casing'v and one each` in the base of the/'body and top of the-cover of the casing, although I do not limit myself to any specific number. 'These concavities l are seen to good advantage in Fig. 3 where they appear as convexities. The spaces 5 between these convexities and the inner wall of the bod/y of the casing and the bottle may be used conveniently for the carrying of any object such as a. thermometer, or anything else which it may be desired to use with the contents of the bottle.

The casing itself is made preferably of a the bottom of said body port-ion` and o. cap Signed at New York, in the county of or -closure adapted to close the opening of New York and State of New York, this 24th said body and provided with an inwardly day of August A. D. 1911.
